Oh Baby DollThey tried to tell me you were deaf and dumbBut I knew they were wrongYou're just a silent one

Oh Baby DollThey tried to tell me you could not feelBut I found out they tried to concealFrom you, that you were a woman

Well they brought you into their laboratoryAnd tried to get you to show and tellThey wanted to hear you say that you were sorryAnd then they told you that you were conceived in hell

But Baby Doll, you knewyou knew that wasn't trueyou knew that it was themit wasn't you

Oh baby dollIt was so hard to know youI could not tell, I couldn't show youBut I didn't have to, 'cause you already knew

Oh baby dollThey had to see by touching handsWe had to dance to a silent bandand you surprised me, being so graceful

I know you can't hear these songs I singBut then they're more for me than they are for youBecause you don't need these songs, babe, like I doYeah, you knew the first time that I held you babeYou didn't have to hear how I love

Oh baby dollThey tried to tell me you were deaf and dumbBut I knew that they were wrongAnd you were just the lonely one
